About Italy

Italy is a boot-shaped peninsula situated in the Mediterranean Sea at the bottom of Western Europe, with the Tyrrhenian Sea to the West, Ionian Sea to the South and Adriatic Sea to the East. Italy is the fifth most visited country in the world and contains more World Heritage Sites than any other country. Although Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence are the top tourist destinations in Italy, the country’s rich collections of art, culture and literature from many different periods and regions make it impossible to judge on where the most interesting location is. With around four thousand miles of coastline, with countless gulfs, inlets, and long sandy beaches, Italy is truly adapted to the vacation lovers every need. Coastal cities with their sea resorts and awesome beaches are easily reachable by car with a variety of ferries and vessels large and small ready to sail you there.

About Tremiti Islands

The Tremiti Islands sit just north of the Gargano Peninsula in southeast Italy, in the Adriatic Sea, consisting of San Domino, San Nicola, Capraia, Cretaccio and Pianosa. Despite their appeal on land: verdant forests, dramatic cliffs and hilltop forts, it’s beneath the clear blue sea you’ll find their greatest assets, attracting over a hundred thousand diving and swimming enthusiasts each summer. The waters are part of a marine reserve, where you can explore underwater caves, sparkling grottoes, rock arches and gorges, while surrounded by schools of colourful fish. And, although used primarily as internment camps during Mussolini’s regime, the Tremiti Islands have since flourished into an important tourist destination. A number of ferry companies offer fast and regular crossings to a couple of islands in the Tremiti archipelago, San Domino and San Nicola, from various towns on ‘the heel’ of the Italian coast.
